Unveiling History

The journey of the Asscher cut begins in 1902 with Joseph Asscher, a member of the renowned Dutch Asscher diamond family. This family became famous after polishing the world's largest rough diamond - the 3,106 carat Cullinan. The Asscher cut diamond thrived during the Art Deco period of the 1920s, often adorning solitaire rings and becoming a favoured choice among many women. Over time, the cut experienced a revival and resurgence around the new millennium, earning additional allure through enhancements that increased its sparkle.
